How To: Textbook Rental

Looking to rent a book? Rent Guardians of Marovo Lagoon [ISBN: 9780824816643] for the semester, quarter, and short term or search our site for other textbooks by Hviding, Edvard. Renting a textbook can save you up to 90% from the cost of buying.

Summary

In Hviding's case, the gap between the social and natural sciences is bridged as he deftly draws on conceptual frameworks from social and cultural anthropology, cultural ecology, history, and marine biology. As he tells the story of the people of Marovo Lagoon in New Georgia in the western Solomon Islands, his focus is on customary marine tenure, a topic that has been surprisingly neglected by most anthropologists working in the Pacific.
